Preparation for Australian property buyers

Negotiate with evidence.Know what to ask.

Understand the property, build your case and prepare to negotiate on price, repairs and conditions—with evidence behind what you say.

Free to start · No card required

From evidence to next steps

Know when to ask more—and when to discuss price.

Illustrative scenarios only—not a real property, inspection, quote or outcome.

Moisture · cause and extent unknown

Elevated moisture readings were detected beside the shower. The cause and extent could not be established during the inspection. Further assessment by a suitably qualified tradesperson is recommended.

Ask for access and a further assessment before drawing conclusions.

See the document review

Repair · a clearer scope

An illustrative report confirms a leaking gutter joint, with a written quote of $1,650 for that section.

Discuss an adjustment—or ask whether the vendor will arrange the work.

How it works

A practical path from property to conversation.

01

Add your property

Start a property profile so your preparation and evidence stay together.

02

Review what you know

Bring research and document or inspection observations into clearer context.

03

Prepare the conversation

Use evidence to shape questions and decide how to approach the agent.

Everything in context

The useful pieces, together.

Research & context

Property research and market context to support your own decision-making.

Document reviews

Building, strata and contract reviews that organise reported details and questions to follow up.

Inspection notes

Keep photo and video observations with the property. They are prompts for questions, not a diagnosis or repair quote.

Negotiation preparation

Written scripts for different stages, with practical ways to respond and decide what to say next.

Buying costs

Hear evidence become a negotiation ask.

A $32,000 roof quote supports a $30,000 request. Hear the agent counter, the buyer respond and the coaching that follows.

Illustrative roof quote and negotiation rehearsal, 72-second edited demo

Buyer dialogue re-voiced. Original agent replies and coaching retained. No real buyer, property or outcome.

Read the demo transcript

The buyer’s voice and wording were revised after the original session. The coaching is an excerpt from that session, not a new assessment of the revised dialogue.

Simulated agent: I hear the request, but the vendor’s position is that the price already reflects the home’s age and original roof. I can float a smaller $10,000 reduction for discussion, as my proposal only. If the vendor holds firm, would you still proceed?

Buyer (re-voiced): I understand. We expected an older roof, not active leaks requiring replacement. The written quote is $32,000 for sheeting and flashings, not upgrades. Please put our $30,000 request to the vendor with the quote.

Simulated agent: I’ll present your $30,000 request with the written quote, noting it covers sheeting and flashings and excludes concealed structural issues. That’s not an acceptance, just a request. If the vendor declines, will you still proceed at the current price?

Buyer (re-voiced): Thank you. We’d like to keep our request at $30,000 for now. Could you please present it with the quote and confirm the vendor’s response in writing? We’ll consider that before deciding whether to proceed.

Narrated coaching from the original session: Your coaching: Name the low anchor explicitly. The agent floated $10,000 as a reference point. You restated your request but didn’t say why $10,000 falls short. Briefly linking it to the $32,000 quote stops the lower figure quietly becoming the benchmark.

Buyer stories

In their own words

“I'd never negotiated on a property before. The first-offer script gave me word-for-word lines I actually used in the call. We ended up $23,000 below asking price.”

Melbourne, VIC · First home buyer · Negotiation scripts

“The building report analysis flagged three defects I'd completely glossed over. It told me exactly how to raise each one — the agent came down $15k without much pushback.”

James T.

Sydney, NSW · Upgrader · Building report analysis

“As a first home buyer I had no idea what was normal in a contract. The review flagged a sunset clause I wouldn't have noticed. My solicitor confirmed it was worth pushing back on.”
